TV. Food. Pop Culture.
So I go away to the Northwest for five days, and of course all sorts of craziness happens on the Big Brother front. The craziest thing undoubtedly was Julie Chen mentioning me by name on the Internets, but really, that’s just crazy to me, and perhaps not the entire BB viewing population as a whole. …

True insanity. I just woke up and discovered an inordinately large amount of tweets congratulating me. For what? I had no idea. But then I got to thinking — late last night, a writer from Entertainment Weekly had contacted me, telling me to keep an eye out for Julie Chen’s EW blog going up today. Naturally, …

It’s been relatively quiet on the Real Housewives front, what with the franchise taking a rest this month before Atlanta storms onto our televisions in a flurry of hair weaves and “BAM!” shouts. Today, however, we have news! Bravo has unveiled the new housewife joining our Orange County bitches, and surprise surprise — she’s a blonde. …
Well, we’re now two episodes deep into Big Brother, and everything seems to be rolling along just fine. Jesse is proving to be more annoying than last season, partly because of a choice by him to amp up his personality perhaps in an effort to court the attention of a WWE casting director (he admitted …
How do you know it’s summer? Not by the rising temperature, but instead by the sudden influx of racial insensitivity courtesy of dumb Big Brother contestants. And along those lines, we have our first clip of derogatory hate speech, courtesy of Braden who used some choice words to describe Kevin’s latino heritage. The only problem? …

It’s baaaaaaack! And I’m not just talking about the clichéd way I just started this post. I’m talking, of course, about Big Brother, which has returned for what looks to be a strong eleventh season. The twist this time around is that the houseguests have been segregated into four distinct cliques: the athletes (a.k.a. jocks), …

Lest you forget, Big Brother 11 premieres tonight at 8 PM on CBS. That means that on the East Coast, there’s t-minus one hour until you surrender your summer to many wonderful, glorious hours in front of the television, watching lunatics scream and fight and battle it out for half million dollars. So very excited… …

Cooking for the prestige, if you will. I was most disappointed last week when I turned on my TV and there was no new episode of Top Chef Masters in my queue. Actually, disappointed wasn’t the word. More like puzzled. Yes, I sat there for five minutes, navigating through the depths of my DVR to …

Last week’s tale of the taco continued to haunt the Real World roommates last night as lingering tensions between Ayiiia and Jonna (pronounced illogically as Jzzzhon-ay) festered into some sort of us vs. them situation in Cancun. The girls –Â Ayiiia, Jasmine, and Emileeeee –Â all banded together against the guys and Jonna, and for twenty minutes, …

The tabloids are again filled with dastardly rumors about LuAnn Countess de Lesseps and her estranged husband Alex, a.k.a. THE COUNT. The latest gossip is that THE COUNT (ah ah ah) has left his Ethiopian lady friend / princess after he found her to be entirely too classless and common. Even more intriguingly, the wags …
